It do not think it's a question of wanting to stretch the rules, but simply to exploit the right to use and act according to the date mentioned on the certificate, which clearly states untill when one is qualified. It is the responsibility of the candidate (not of the certifying agency) to arrange for internships that will count for her hours under certified guidance.
Or is this a language problem and are you perhaps talking about a lactation consultant who did get her certification get outdated and is not currently entitled to carry the name IBCLC?

Warmly,

Subject: [LACTNET] mentoring rules from IBLCE

I can see the point of the candidate who cannot use her mentored hours until
after her mentor passes her *first* recertification in July.
And I see the other side of the argument as well.
What if IBLCE allowed candidates to start their mentoring process and
logging of hours with an
IBCLC who had not yet re-certified? There might be many such
applicants/candidates who would have a situation in which the mentor did not
pass her recertification or who choose not to re-take or could not re-take
at last minute, for whatever reason. Then there would be several candidates
who had to restart the whole process with another mentor, and I'm sure a
bunch of paperwork that had to be done over again.
If IBLCE allows candidates to work with someone starting in May (prior to
taking first recert in July), then there will be other candidates who would
ask to 'stretch the rules' to maybe March, or have a mentor who has been an
IBCLC for 30 yrs but has never recertified, but is planning to, and it's
June?
Do you see where I am coming from? They have to draw the line somewhere.
What I am saying, and I don't think this will be a popular statement, is
that the candidate did not select a qualified mentor (one who had passed a
recert already). I am sure that finding a qualified mentor is not easy,
sorry.
